Bohol (Philippines) ravaged by earthquake

I didn't miss the selections for one reason more than another. Well, I was sick that week. Impossible to breathe normally, to sleep normally.

In detail, we were 8 on Monday morning, and 4 on Monday evening. Then there were 2 of us at the end of the second half-day. Then there was only one left on the evening of the second day. Then came 2 other participants (mf28, N1) who followed the 4 remaining days.

In the end, there were 20 places on the Antibes Creps.

What I understood from the debrief of the antibes creps with the maximum of impartiality on my part:

According to the regulations, I am N3 (like the 6 others eliminated) even if we have different school courses, or diving instructor (there was a PADI Course Director), and I therefore had to participate in the pre-selection of 2 days from Monday and Tuesday. Given that this is the first year, that the regulations allow level 3 (+ first aid training PSE1, and sea license in hand) to participate, the creps is required to receive us for the selection. But there are more participants than places. By talking, I understood that they do not take risks. On the other hand, the DEJEPS level allows teaching at 60 meters and the tutoring of DEJEPS trainees. For my part, I realized while discussing with the creps, that I do not need this level to carry out my project. They really helped me to re-project myself after this cold shower.

So now, I put to redo things already acquired to pass my N4, obtain my Common Trunk, pass my federal MF1, and obtain a State Patent in bridging. Will remain in 2 years, if I wish it, to obtain UC4 of DEJEPS.

To be continued…
